Advance booking is recommended, particularly for Waiheke Island wine tours, Hobbiton, Waitomo and private tours. Popular departures can fill quickly during weekends, school holidays and the summer travel season.
Inclusions vary by tour. Some packages include attraction entry, tastings, lunch or ferry travel, while others cover transport and guiding only. Check the listed inclusions carefully before booking.
Some tours are designed around cruise schedules, but return times must be checked before booking. Allow enough time to travel back to the ship, especially for longer trips outside the city.
Comfortable shoes, weatherproof clothing, sunscreen, water and a camera are useful for most tours. Photo identification may be required for wine tasting, and warmer layers are recommended for boat trips and outdoor activities.
Many tours still operate in light rain, but sailing, wildlife, walking and outdoor activities may change or be cancelled in unsafe conditions. The operator’s cancellation and rescheduling terms should be checked before travel.
Accessibility varies by vehicle, attraction and activity. Travellers with mobility requirements should confirm walking distances, steps, vehicle access and available assistance before booking.
